History

[edit]

Uttara Cricket Club played in the Dhaka First Division Cricket League in 2017.[2]

They were one of the twelve teams to take part in the 2018–19 Dhaka Premier Division Twenty20 Cricket League and the 2018–19 Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League.[3][4]

In February 2019, they won their opening fixture of the 2018–19 Dhaka Premier Division Twenty20 Cricket League, beating Khelaghar Samaj Kallyan Samity by six wickets.[5] The following month, they won their opening match of the 2018–19 Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League, beating Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club by 9 runs.[6] However, following the conclusion of the group stage fixtures, the team finished bottom of the table, and therefore moved to the Relegation League playoffs section of the tournament.[7][8] In the relegation playoffs, they finished in second place of the three teams, and were relegated to the sub-List-A First Division for the next season.[9]

In 2024, Uttara Cricket Club played in 2023–24 Dhaka First Division Cricket League.[10][11]
